When is a Pipe Leak Repair Needed

There are several situations where immediate repairs are necessary.

• Floor damage – If you have a water leak, it will settle to the floor, and can get trapped under floorboards, slabs, tiles, etc. If you don’t address the situation, this can create the perfect environment for mold to form and can have serious consequences on the foundation of your home.
• Wall damage – The majority of your home’s plumbing is located (and hidden) behind the walls. If you have a pipe break, or even if it has a slow water leak, over time, the water will begin to seep its way through the drywall, which will damage your wall, and potentially cause your walls to collapse or cave in.
• Mildew – Mildew thrives in damp environments. Pooling water in your walls or floors promotes the growth of mold and mildew, which is bad for your health. Inhalation of or exposure to mold can result in nasal stuffiness, throat or skin irritation, etc., and for those who might be immune-compromised, this can exacerbate existing conditions.

Where Water Leaks are Most Common

Here are some obvious signs that you may have a leak:

• Leaky toilet – Here are some obvious signs that you have a leaky toilet:
• You have to jiggle the toilet handle to get the toilet to stop running
• Your toilet makes sounds when not in use
• You have to hold the toilet handle down to get the tank to empty
• You see water trickling down the sides of the exterior of the toilet, long after flushing has been completed
• The toilet seems to flush on its own
• Low water pressure in your shower or sink (or both)
• Leaky shower head – If your shower head drips more than 10 drips per minute, this is a sign of a serious leak. This many drips can be equivalent to over 500 gallons of wasted water in any given year.
• Irrigation systems – If you notice a particular zone in your irrigation system is not getting as much water as other zones, this is a sign of a leak in the system.
• Hose bibs – Hose bibs are common sources of slow leaks. If water is dripping out from the hose connectors, you can place a rubber gasket around the connectors to stop the leak.
